Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Roscoe needs a new home! cute 17 year old dog (nyc area) Reply to: comm-pnups-1159422366@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] Date: 2009-05-07, 3:17PM EDT Meet Roscoe. Roscoe is a 17 year old neutered male mixed breed dog approximately 20 pounds. Temperament/Personality: Generally a pretty mellow dog. Loves getting attention from people (your basic petting, etc.), but for the most part he has always pretty much ignored other dogs except for a little sniffing, etc. Roscoe rarely barks (if ever) and just needs some human attention. The family is seeking a home where Roscoe will get a lot more attention than he's been getting now. Roscoe is small (around 20 lbs), so he could live in an apartment or house. The lack of attention do to long work hours and a toddler seems to be affecting his personality lately as he's started to pace around the apartment. We took him to the vet and all the bloodwork was normal, so the vet thinks that his pacing is behavior based. Although he's 17, all of his tests came back normal. If you can offer Roscoe his new forever home please email for an adoption application. A foster arrangement for Roscoe to settle in is also available if interested in adopting. Thanks. Roscoe needs a new home! cute 17 year old dog |

| What a cutie he is. How devestating to re-home a 17yr old dog. I hope this works out for him. |

| So upsetting to see this poor guy that's been with a family for 17 years all of a sudden homeless. I cannot and will never understand how it is so easy for some to discard their family because to me that's what a pet is, after having them even a short time let alone 17 years. Very very sad.

| How much longer can he possibly live? I can't believe he has to find a new home at 17. I usually try to stay out of stuff like this, but this one really SUCKS!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | How sad. We get them in all the time at the shelter where I help out that are 12 plus years old. I just hold them and say how can someone do this.

| This makes me so so sick. I can not understand how anyone can do this to a pet! I pray someone will be kind enough to rescue him. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | that poor dog. if i had my own place i'd take him in. He doesn't have that much longer left and he should be in a place where he is loved

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | K, 9 times out of 10 you will see me on the side of the owner in a rehoming situation. but this is just so very wrong. I don't like this at all. It's not even that they've suddenly lost their home or anything -- they have a kid and jobs! lots of people have kids and jobs!! that poor dog.

| I have no sympathy for people who throw their dog out after 17 years. I don't care what the circumstance is. I hope Karma is a bitch and their precious children abandon them in an old folks home someday.
